Corrie’s Kym Marsh ‘receives new contract’ after ‘brilliant’ handling of challenging storylines
No soap character has had a more heartbreaking or difficult past year than Coronation Street’s Michelle Connor.
So it’s no wonder that show bosses have been so impressed with Kym Marsh’s performance as Michelle that they have reportedly handed her a brand new contract that will keep her on the cobbles until at least mid-2018.
‘Over the past year she has been handed some really challenging storylines, and she has handled them all brilliantly,’a source close to the ITV soap has revealed.
‘But it was the miscarriage scenes that really blew them away. What’s more, they had a huge impact on viewers, many of whom got in touch to say how moved they were.’
As Michelle, Kym has had to portray a character dealing with a cheating husband, an impending divorce and then a harrowing miscarriage, which saw Michelle and Steve McDonald losing their baby boy at 24 weeks after her waters broke early.
The scenes, shown in January, saw Michelle and Steve saying goodbye to their boy, who they had named Ruairi.
Speaking to The Sun, the insider added: ‘Over the years Michelle has become a real Street favourite and everyone is pleased that Kym has signed for another year.’
It is thought that the writers are now hoping to plan a ‘series of major storylines for her’.
As Metro.co.uk’s soaps editor Duncan Lindsay wrote, the recent scenes which saw Michelle and Steve lose their baby ‘made a nation weep’ and their performances ‘did the issue justice and then some’.
He also praised Corrie for tackling a storyline – one which was particularly close to Kym as her son Archie was born 18 weeks prematurely in 2010 – that can ‘raise awareness, incite debates and encourage discussion around difficult real life topics’.
You may have seen this one coming, but Coronation Street boss Kate Oates has hinted that she's planning to pair up Michelle Connor and Robert Preston.
Robert has never made any secret of his feelings for Michelle and viewers have recently seen him loyally supporting her following the breakdown of her marriage to Steve McDonald.
Michelle will soon be taking a short trip away from the cobbles when she goes to stay with Carla Connor for a while, but it looks like Robert might finally be in her sights when she returns.
"I rather like Michelle with Robert. He hasn't put a foot wrong - and he's done the right thing by Michelle and not made a move on her," show producer Kate told Soaplife.
"In fact, he's almost apologetic for having feelings for her. I find that kind of unselfishness refreshing in soap. But it won't all be hearts and flowers for this pair.
"Robert's an alpha male and tougher than Steve. Michelle shouldn't expect that his very deep feelings for her will mean she can push him around."
Michelle was recently left devastated when she discovered that Steve has secretly fathered a child with Leanne Battersby, which appears to have destroyed their marriage forever.
Next week's episodes see Michelle make a move on Leanne's fiancé Nick Tilsley in a bid to get revenge on her - but despite her scheming, it seems that Robert will be the man she ultimately ends up with.
